In three years he has been through and recorded the same number of films, the lasttwo have been nominated in the industry&#8217;s big gala in Canada.

When LT hits Oskar Pedersen has he just started the season with two races during aweekend in Oslo. It was a victory and a third place. He was pleased with the results,but it is not the hunt for podium finishes running Lerum guy.

He has tried most things that can jump and do tricks with. Skateboarding, mountain biking, inline skating, and last summer he bought a motocross.

But above all he is a talent on skis. Film Sequences with Oskar Pedersen shows askier with full control, where the skis look like an extension of the foot. He takes ongigantic jumps, spins round and round in the air and glide along the rails.

At the annual mountain holidays with the family he was impressed early by&#8217;ve ever.He observed, imitated, and on a trip to Hemsedal came a guy with a camera up toOscar and his friend.

As an example, says Oskar an episode from the filming of the latest movie, when a helicopter leased. Problems arose when a storm came up. The lifts were cut, but that did not stop skiers who took up with the help of scooters.

- In most cases, we had waited out the storm, but now we only had an hour on us. It was just to run. The hope was very good, it was very exciting, and sometimes feltlike they would jump right into the rotor blades, &#8221;says Oscar.
